Trump cashes in on mug shot as Stormy Daniels reacts to his booking record – live

Conservative host felt compelled to say he was complimenting Mr Trump ‘with an unblemished record of heterosexuality’.

Predictably, almost as soon as the scowling mug shot was released, the former president’s re-election campaign began using it to try to fundraise for his 2024 presidential run.

Less than 90 minutes in from his release from the Atlanta jail, the campaign sent an email to supporters saying it would give away a “free” premium cotton t-shirt featuring the historic booking photo – in exchange for a $47 donation.

A listing on the real estate site Zillow had claimed that the Palm Beach, Florida, club had been sold on 4 August to a company called Mar-a-Lago Inc.

Reports suggested that the company was controlled by Donald Trump Jr.

However, that was angrily denied by Eric Trump in a social media post on Friday.

Donald Trump has become the latest addition – and the first United States president – to join that infamous cadre of the police-portraited arrested. The ever-publicity-conscious former reality TV star has already acknowledged the iconic status of any possible picture, trying to cash in on the prospect by releasing a fake one on a t-shirt (for $47 as a re-election campaign “donation”) back in April. But any real picture had yet to materialise – until today.

Sarah Palin, the former Masked Singer contestant and reality television host who served half of a four-year term as Alaska’s governor nearly two decades ago, said the arrest of former president Donald Trump on racketeering and election interference charges could prompt a second US civil war.

It took less than a day after a Fulton County, Georgia grand jury indicted former president Donald Trump, his former chief of staff Mark Meadows, and 17 other defendants in a sprawling racketeering case for one of them to invoke a rarely used federal law in an attempt to move the case into federal court.

Mr Trump was arrested in Georgia as part of the state’s investigation into his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

That’s among the results of a new poll from Politico Magazine and Ipsos which has revealed that the American people are taking the cases against Mr Trump seriously, with the survey revealing the electorate’s particular focus on the 2020 election subversion proscution brought by the Department of Justice.

The poll also shows that most Americans remain sceptical of Mr Trump’s arguments that the cases against him have no merit and that they’re part of a politically motivated witch hunt and a weaponization of the justice system.
